Managing Power Consumption

When you are not using your computer, you will want to maximize battery operating

time without compromising performance. It is not necessary to turn the computer off in

order to reduce power consumption and extend battery life.

reducing power consumption.

Power management options may be invoked manually at any time by pressing the

appropriate key. See “To use manual power management.”

•

Power management options can also be set to occur automatically, based on timeout

values that you have entered. See “To use automated power management” in the

electronic
